Where in the World is Elasticsearch? - May 19, 2014

Welcome to our weekly news bite about where you can find all sorts of Elasticsearch & ELK stack goodness. This week, David Pilato will get you ready for the wide world of Elasticsearch and Kibana, while Jordan Sissel will teach you how to love your logs with Logstash - the L in the Elasticsearch ELK stack - and Elasticsearch & Kibana.

Meetups

Since you are not Dr. Who and are therefore likely without a Tardis, you may not be able to join us for all these conferences. But we have lots of great meetups happening this week. Please join us in a city near you for more informal get togethers, including refreshments and tasty talk treats!

San Francisco

Okay, so we took this one out of alphabetical order, but that's because we're welcoming a speaker from overseas. Please join us tomorrow, Tuesday, May 20th to hear from Graham Tackley, Director of Architecture at The Guardian News and Media. Graham will discuss how The Guardian leveraged Elasticsearch to build an analytics platform that allowed everyone in The Guardian's newsroom to deep dive into reader engagement - all in real-time.

But wait, there's more! Kirsten Stewart from Desk.com will present on the challenges, complexities, and triumphs Desk has experienced giving their users a near real-time experience using various tools and configurations of Elasticsearch.

We're at capacity now, but there's still room on the waitlist. If you cannot join us in person, we'll be taping the talks, so stay tuned to this blog for updates.

Chicago

The day after the conference program for GOTO Chicago concludes, the fine folks at ADP Dealer Services will be hosting the 4th Elasticsearch Chicago Meetup. Attendees will hear from Binh Ly on an Introduction to Kibana, and from Igor Motov on Improving Resiliency in Elasticsearch.

Doors open at 6 PM in Thursday, May 22nd. Register now, as space is limited. We'll fill your brain, feed your belly and you'll probably walk out with some cool Elasticsearch gear.
